UnixWare file system

[GuzaPasha]

Hi all,

I do need the following document

UnixWare file system documentation.

I want to enlarge the file system on the conversant V7.0.

Does anyone know the details how to enlarge file system?

eg: /voice1/...

Thanx,
GuzaPasha

hi,
Look at MKFS.

There is an option that will tell you what options where used to create the Partition in the first place.

Then you will know whether it is an

ufs or svfs or bcs

type file system.

Then you can read up on that type of file system and see if there is an option to expand a partition.

Typically you can't with destroying the data and reloading.

Now you might be about to Use SOFT links to off load some of the data.

for example if /HOME is on / ( root ) and you are running out of room on / you could add another disk and copy the contents of /home over there and delete /home from the root disk giving you all the space from /home back to root.

then you simply create

ln -s /newdisk/home /home

and everything still works because /home still points to all the uses files.

moving /home is easy because you can force users off and moe it while the system is up.

/usr and /var

are a little more difficult to move.
